Here is a card I made using a digi from Bugaboo Stamps. Check them out tomorrow and you'll be able to snag a freebie digi! It seems a bit barren, but I left the sentiment off so I can add it depending on the occasion that I send the card for.

I colored this image a couple of weeks ago and wasn't happy with it at all so I set her aside. As I was leafing through my DP last night I found some that I thought would look really cute with her. I've never made a pastel colored Christmas card, but I figure that's what challenges are for...to challenge yourself. So here goes...

I picked up this image from Meljen's Designs earlier today because I thought he was just so doggone cute. The sentiment is from Meljen's as well. I'm thinking about adding some Diamond Glaze to the lights so they shine a bit. What do you think?

As soon as I saw this week's freebie image from Meljen's Designs I knew exactly what I wanted to do and this sketch worked perfectly. Looking at it now I think I need to add a bit of sparkle, but otherwise I'm happy with it.

Just wanted to pass on some blog candy I just stumbled across. Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Blog had such a great response to their first candy that they are having another candy giveaway. Be sure to check it out!

The whole time I was putting this together I was shaking my head, saying "I don't know about this." (I talk to myself often while crafting). I'm very happy with how this notepad turned out though. I don't know about you, but I really like the blue/brown color combo for Christmas. I wasn't too sure about the brown snowflakes and star, but once I put the Stickles on I knew they were exactly what I wanted. I'm surprised I managed to fit everything on the front of this since it's just over 3" all the way around.
